Iranian drones are unlikely
This was stated by the US Marine Corps, retired by Mark Kanchin, the American edition of Newsweek. Pentagon confirmed that Russia imported hundreds of Iranian drones, since hostilities in the south of Ukraine are sharpened. The operation of drones requires long military training. However, it will probably not lead to the success of Russian troops, as they still lack the precision missiles that Ukraine has. This complicates targeting moving objects such as HIMARS.
"Drones will work with unmanageable rockets as Russians, but not as effective. In addition, the Russians will need to develop a system of intelligence, guidance and impact so that they can transform information from drones into effective attacks," - said Marine Corps. The US is retired by Mark Kanchian. According to him, drones are going to use to adjust artillery and as shock platforms with onboard missiles.
He noted that it is unclear how much time it will take the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to get used to the operation and maintenance of Iranian shock drones. However, if the Russians learn how to use drones effectively, the Armed Forces will face the same problems as Russian troops, including strikes on headquarters and problems with logistics that can disrupt counter -offensive.
We will remind, on August 30 the media reported that the first batch of percussion drones from Iran Mohajer-6 and Shahd arrived in Russia. However, the Russian military remained dissatisfied with the purchase, because there were technical difficulties. According to journalists, the military of the Russian Federation found that there are several mistakes in the UAV system. On August 27, the AP announced that Iran had transferred hundreds of drones for war in Ukraine.
